Saturday Madness

Two dogs across the street played
happily with each other.
Yesterday, we worked in the front yard, cleaning up flower beds and trimming overgrown hedges and shrubs. Here are some pictures for you (they enlarge).






This bed was overgrown with Bermuda grass.
I cleaned it out, then added our bird bath.
Next spring, this will be a rose bed!

Nettl trimmed all of the hedges.
Want to see what she did?
Here's a before shot, taken about 6 weeks ago:


Joel got into the act and helped with picking up the debris.

A garden friend kept his eye on me,

as I decorated the porch.

After midnight, as we sat on the porch relaxing,
Nettl, in her jammies and slippers,
decided to tackle the dead hedges.

Never underestimate a Scott holding hedge clippers and a hacksaw.
"They will never tek our garden tools!"
